Taking inspiration from creatures like chameleons who are masters of colour-changing camouflage, researchers at MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a new spray-on ink that can infinitely change colours, designs, and patterns when blasted with different wavelengths of light.

Silicon has had a very good run as the material upon which all of our electronics are based, but it's starting to reach its limits. So now there's a new contender for running our computers and smartphones: carbon nanotubes. And scientists just made the largest working computer chip to date out of this hugely promising material.

Tech giant Intel Corp said on Wednesday it will use the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games to show off a portfolio of new technology including artificial intelligence driven 3D tracking of athletes to augment broadcasts of events during the Games.

Apple kicked off its annual fall product launch on Tuesday where, as promised, it unveiled its newest hardware, software and services - two new iPhones, an iPad, a watch, and a small glimpse into what you'll be able to get from its video and game streaming services.

Concrete, in one form or another, has been a staple of human construction for some 5,000 years. Now, researchers have finally brought the ancient technology to outer space. For the first time, scientists have successfully mixed cement - a primary ingredient of concrete - in the microgravity environment aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Google security experts uncovered an "indiscriminate" hacking operation that targeted iPhones over a period of at least two years and used websites to implant malicious software to access photos, user locations and other data.

Following more than two decades of design and construction, engineers have now finally put the last remaining pieces in place for NASA’s next generation orbiting observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope. Built to succeed Hubble as NASA’s premier space telescope, the now-complete instrument will take our space exploration capabilities to whole new levels, with the sensitivity to spot a single firefly a million kilometers away.

The invention of an artificial super-intelligence has been a central theme in science fiction since at least the 19th century. From E.M. Forster's short story The Machine Stops (1909) to the recent HBO television series Westworld, writers have tended to portray this possibility as an unmitigated disaster.

Using a supercomputer scientists managed to simulate the creation and evolution of 8 million virtual universes, each containing 12 million galaxies - and in the process, they discovered something new about the universe we actually live in.

Yesterday Russia launched an unmanned rocket carrying a life-size humanoid robot that will spend 14 days learning to assist astronauts on the International Space Station. Named Fedor, for Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research with identification number Skybot F850, the robot is the first ever sent up by Russia.
